The only thing more tasteless and unappealing than the food provided to us was the lady from whom it was given. One knows it's an issue when your hospitality is modelled off Hannibal Lecter, although quite frankly even Hannibal's food sounds more appealing than the stale and somewhat wet chips we were given. Also the Lady was a racist.Addition from an empath: Although I may not have been present on this trip, the energy exuded from the victims of this experience truly made me uncomfortable. It was almost as if all joy had been sucked out of them, and I fear that the hopelessness they live with will never be lifted. Being an empath, the experience of my fellow sufferers has also impacted me terribly. I am unable to function after whitnessing the aftermath of the horrors that they went through. Food was alright though I had a look at pics.

If you want to eat within an hour of ordering, maybe eat somewhere else. Over priced and very average food.

Lovely little place, great fish and chips, excellent relaxed service and atmosphere. I would go back if I was ever nearby. Honestly not a single complaint from four adults and a big black lab who even got some treats from our host. Highly recommended!

We visited for a work get together one evening, we knew the restaurant was closed as its late in the season so we ordered takeaway and sat on the decking to watch the sun go down. Really friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. Great, fresh and superbly cooked fish and chips. We would highly recommend!
As a local to the area I visit the boathouse quite a bit and I’m never disappointed. Such a lovely place with welcoming staff, cozy interior and amazing food. Great selection of gluten free options which is hard to find and always loads of yummy cakes to choose from. This time I went for the chicken and bacon salad with an iced coffee. My husband went for a cod and chips and couldn’t get enough of it. The batter was light and flaky and the fish was cooked perfectly! After walking along the beach, we couldn’t resist coming back to the boathouse for a piece of carrot cake! Would definitely recommend to everyone!!

Airy room with a good view of the sea. Friendly staff. We had a large portion of whitebait with generous salad and an excellent ciabatta with chorizo and mozzarella and really good fries. A delightful lunch.

Thought we would try this as we wanted somewhere for lunch. We were not disappointed! The food was excellent (chorizo and mozzarella ciabatta and chorizo, halloumi and tomato ciabatta). Staff were friendly and the 70s music brought back our childhoods!! We will return!

Worst fish and chips I have had in a long time. Spongy uncooked batter and oily chips, totally tasteless fish. Not cheap either, £14 for large cod and chips.

Was recommended to come here after being told it was the best place for takeaway chips in the area. Well, what a disappointment. It doesn't do 'proper' lovely soggy unctuous fish shop chips, rather we received them very dark brown and dry; looking like oven chips had been shoved into a fryer and fried to within an inch of their life! For this we paid 3.75 a portion and received with our meal only one meagre sachet of vinegar as 'standard'. We were told they 'don't do bottles of vinegar' (what fish n chips place doesn't have bottles of vinegar!) so I had to laboriously open 12 sachets just to get enough to moisten and flavour the chips! On the positive side, they were good about giving me 'extra' vinegar sachets, and the chip portions were quite frugal so we didn't have to suffer long. If you want a similar chip experience try wetherspoons although their chips are much nicer.
Grumpy service lovely
